Summary
"Marseilles was beautiful. Even like this, spring only just beginning to stretch its fair green gossamer over trees and trellises, it was obvious. The sunny shopfronts, the bustling streets, the glinting spires of the churches; everywhere one looked there could be seen the signs of prosperity and progress. And then, the wind picked up, the taste of salt in the air, and all at once great clouds of sails could be spotted, billowing wide and welcoming against the blue of sea and sky.
To Jean Valjean, it seemed not a little bit like Hell."

Summary
It's nice to have company drop in here on Brittle Hollow, Riebeck is not going to deny that, but there is something... off, about the newest of the Outer Wilds recruits. Not weird, not scary, but worrying. Riebeck's starting to think the hatchling might need help, and they don't know what to do about it.

Summary
It all begins, as these things tend to, with a dream.
"In the striving upwards, the pull to Glory which every one of us will feel at least once in our lives, the ledge upon which we now stand is nothing but a false victory; a wrong turning on our path. The gods which once dwelt here are long since dead and gone, with nothing left in their wake but the decay of memory and echo. Still, it is a vantage point. From here, we can see how far we have yet to go."

Hands that Shape: Investigations into the Dreams and Visions of the Creators of this World by paperowls
Fandom: Cultist Simulator (Video Game), Мор. Утопия | Pathologic
22 May 2024
Summary
A jumbled assortment of writings and stories. Written in the Baldomerian tradition (though evidenty not by the woman herself), they concern themselves mainly with the dreams and imaginings of a curious cast of characters, as far-flung in professions as architects, actors, and mystics, though with a special attention paid to those of healers.
“Death is not the end, of course, but whatever passes that gate will be irrevocably changed, and much of what they once were will be forever lost to them. The loss of life, in this mode, can best be understood as a loss of humanity, as well as a loss of agency, and thus to fight death is to fight for the retainment of these features. The healer, then, can be understood as a champion of choice, as well as a champion of nature.”
[Remember, there is only one future, but the Histories are many. All that is told may not follow upon itself; still, it may all be true.]

Bookmarker's Notes
This one has poetry in it, and the guys stuck in a hole. They make the most of it.
